In systems where thermal stability, dynamic load capacity, and maintenance-free operation are critical, foil air bearings offer a technically advanced alternative to conventional rolling element and oil-lubricated bearings. OAV Air Bearings creates precision foil bearing systems that operate without any kind of mechanical contact or external lubrication, leveraging compliant foil structures and hydrodynamic air films to support loads with high stiffness and damping.

In the realm of high-precision engineering, controlling angular motion with zero mechanical friction or resistance poses a growing challenge, particularly within systems where alignment accuracy and repeatability are non-negotiables. Traditional mechanical pivots and ball joints, although widely used, introduce inherent limitations: friction, lubrication requirements, and mechanical wear that compromises system accuracy and effectiveness over time.
